Abstract

Tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors have been reported to induce the symptoms of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) or to exacerbate REM sleep without atonia. With this case report, we found an association between typical RBD and duloxetine, a serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor. We present a case of a 62-year-old woman who experienced enactment behaviors with violent dreams that were associated with increased tonic or phasic chin electromyography activity during REM sleep after treated with duloxetine. RBD symptoms were gradually reduced and completely ceased after discontinuation of duloxetine for 37 days. The current case appears to be the first observation of duloxetine-induced RBD. We describe features of RBD induced by duloxetine that are similar and different from that induced by tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 February 2022.
All research outputs
#15,867,545
of 23,577,654 outputs
Outputs from BMC Psychiatry
#3,552
of 4,896 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#268,448
of 440,701 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Psychiatry
#47
of 70 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,654 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,896 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.7. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 440,701 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 70 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
